does Newcastle winning today somehow make this worse? It’s seems worse.
It IS worse....
Because whenever we've played them in SF or Finals, we haven't been able to disprove the idea that they are some sort of mythical, undefeatable Entity that cannot be vanquished...
We always revert to type, and don't really believe we can ever beat them.

...and IF we ever do, there's a National outcry about some decision or other, to either deny us any real credit, or to ensure it doesn't happen again for a while!

Newcastle rock up and it just FELT like they were gonna win. They believed it, and so did Liverpool by the looks of it.

We've never really done that... Be it in Madrid, Wembley, or WHL...
and on the occasions we have beaten them, it's never really made much difference to the outcome of the season...

Winning in the league occasionally, or in the 1st leg of a 2-legged tie counts for shit when they still win the Big prizes at the end of the season.

Same with City, this 'curse' we seemed to have on them, never really stopped them from winning everything in their path... but when we HAVE beaten them in the Cups, again, it counts for shit if WE can't take advantage and WIN THE ACTUAL TROPHY we've just knocked them out of, and get knocked out ourselves in the next round.
 
And yet we actually have one of the better defensive and offensive set piece records this season in the league so far

Probably because nobody needs set pieces to beat us- they just sit deep and counter down our wings the same way every game.

Slot has had a relative cakewalk start to Prem life so far but getting dumped from CL and now the EFL will be a wake-up call for him.

Good competitors can stay focused enough on the task at hand to overcome mental boogiemen. I wonder if Michael Jordan was worried that the Bulls hadn't won enough before he went on his tear of winning 6 rings in the NBA? Highly doubtful the man entertained such thoughts. One of the tasks of Levy and the scouting team should be finding these types of individuals to help improve the club.
 
Will it be Sunday night emergency board meeting convened’ or ‘Monday morning press conference hastily called’? Saying that doesn’t Levy have form for a Tuesday morning sacking?

Either way, put the useless Aussie failure out of his (and ours) misery ASAP please…
 
Please get this man out of the Club.

Absolutely can't stand him. Forgot for the first time in 25 years we were even playing today.

He's making me hate watching us. Bad, very bad SIGN Mr Levy.
 
I know he isnt going to be sacked until we're out of Europe but when did it become a thing that a manager has to be given a chance in every competition before being binned? Its not a bloody charity, its a ruthless multi million pound business and if he's failing to justify his massive wage then he should be sacked. Its insane. Graham, Hoddle, Jol, Ramos, AVB, Poch, Nuno, Mourinho all sacked when we were in cups, some in 3.

It made sense when we had started picking up results in the league too.

Today he looked completely broken though. How is he going to look them in the eye and see any real belief in what they're doing now?
